MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008need help transfering data from Outlook 2003 to 2007
so i copied my .pst file and copied it to my new computer. i can access the information via Personal Folders. all the information is there with the exception of my jpurnal entries. with Outlook 2003 i would click on a Contact, click on the Activities tab and view my previous journal entries. on Outlook 2007 they are no where to be seen. any help would be appreciated. Rob You seem to have transferred your data incorrectly. State what you did, precisely.

You should have simply copied that file to any location but the default, opened it in Outlook and set it as your new default. I would not rely on the backup utility to create a file you want to migrate to a new installation. And you should never copy an Outlook data file to the default location.

You're the only one who was there when you corrupted the profile, so you're the only one with a clue. The only way this could happen is through end user action.
